This function checks whether a Job is running for the Profile with name a.
If this is the case, the return value is "true", otherwise "false".
If a Load balancing system is in use, only this node here is checked (i.e. the node on which you use this function). That means that a running profile on another node would not be found with the function. For many (but not all) input agents, by Starting a profile on a specific working node you can avoid this issue.
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
|---|
a | Name of the profile to be checked. |
Execution instance that arises when an inbound agent of a profile accepts data. The platform creates a backup file and processes the job through all profile phases. Running, successful, and failed jobs are visible in the Control Center .
A profile is the central configuration unit in the Lobster Data Platform. It receives data, processes it, and forwards it. Configuration is done graphically, with no programming required.
The Lobster Data Platform's operating mode ensures high availability and scalability. A node controller accepts input data and distributes processing tasks to any number of working nodes using a round-robin or load-balancing algorithm. If the node controller fails, a working node takes over its role.
